The data import step in Petrel allows the user to import data in a range of different formats,
such as Irap Classic, Irap RMS, CPS-3, Earthvision, Stratamodel, VIP, LAS, Eclipse, Zmap+ and

An important part of importing data into a new project is to check the quality of the input data.
Petrel has excellent visualizing tools and for each imported object there is also attached a
statistical report sheet.
